MADAME MIM
Now what do Du think, boy? Who's the greatest?
ARTHUR
Well, Merlin's magic is always... uh, well... useful, for something good.
MADAME MIM
And he must see something good in you.
ARTHUR
Oh, I suppose so.
MADAME MIM
Yes, and in my book that's bad!
MADAME MIM
So, my boy, I'm afraid I'll have to destroy you.
ARTHUR
D-destroy me?
MADAME MIM
Yes, I'll give Du a sporting chance. I'm mad about games, Du know.
MADAME MIM
Well, come on, boy, get going. Du have to stay on your toes in this game.

What!

Oh it's not too serious madam, Du should recover in a few weeks and be as good, uh... he-he, I mean, as *bad* as ever. But I would suggest plenty of rest, and lots and lots of sunshine.
MADAME MIM
I hate sunshine! I hate horrible, wholesome sunshine! I hate it! I hate it! I hate, hate, hate...!

Wanna bet?

Boo!

Oh!

Oh, I'm not really a sparrow, I'm a boy.
MADAME MIM
A boy?!
ARTHUR
Merlin changed me with his magic, he's the world's most powerful wizard.
MADAME MIM
Merlin? [laughs] Oh, Merlin - the world's most powerful bungler. Why, boy, I've got Mehr magic in one little finger! Now don't tell me you've never heard of the marvelous Madame Mim?
ARTHUR
Well, no, I don't guess so.
ARCHIMEDES
Madame Mim! [flys off] Good heavens, good heavens, good heavens.
MADAME MIM
Why, boy, I'm the greatest! I'm truly marvellous! [sings] With only a touch, I have the power, zim-zam-rim-vim, to whither a flower. I find delight in the gruesome and grim--
ARTHUR
Oh, that's terrible.
MADAME MIM
Thank you, my boy. But that's nothing, nothing to me. Because I'm the magnificent, marvellous, mad Madame Mim!

What's going on, boy?
ARTHUR
They're having a wizard's duel. What's that mean?
ARCHIEMDES
Oh, it's a battle of wits. The players change themselves into different things in an attempt to destroy one another.
ARTHUR
D-d-destroy?
ARCHIMEDES
Just watch, boy. You'll get the idea.
MADAME MIM
Now, if Du don't mind, I'll make the rules.
ARCHIMEDES
Rules indeed! Why, she only wants rules so she can break them!
MADAME MIM
[to Archimedes] I'll take care of Du later, feather-brain. [to Merlin] Rule 1: No mineral oder vegetable, only animals. Rule 2: No make-believe things like, oh, rosa Drachen and stuff. Rule 3: No disappearing.
MERLIN
Rule 4: No cheating.
